Default Got my HU. Now need speakers and sub.

Picking up my Kenwood KIV-BT900 from best buy today. (On clearance for $159. last one left), along with antenna adaptor, wiring harness and mounting kit. Already have my stealth 10" sub enclosure. Now i need speakers and a sub. I want to power the speakers off the HU for now. What should i go with? I was thinking maybe infinity kappas up front and some sort of midbass woofer in the sail panels. Or should i just run coaxials in all 4 locations? What sub and amp should i look into? Thanks guys

installed my HU last night. I had no idea that a new HU could make the sound so much cleaner and better. Sounds like i have all new speakers when really all i have is 10+ year old monsoon junk. ANyways, any more speaker and sub opinions before i order today? Focal is a bit out of my price range. Right now i am thinking of going with infinity kappas. Thanks guys

alright guys i think i am going to go with polk db651 coaxials in the doors since people seem to like them. What should i put in the sail panels? I was thinking of doing kicker cvt652's but will that be too much bass with a 10" stealth sub as well? Opinions?
